SIBI-P1 H5003-16

and they committed adultery

Morphological NotesVerb; waw-consecutive + perfect (converted imperfect) 3rd masculine plural (HC/Vpw3mp). The form narrates a completed past action performed by a masculine plural subject.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the core meaning of נאף as marital unfaithfulness while reflecting the third person masculine plural form ("they"). The prefixed conjunction with waw-consecutive indicates a narrative past action, hence "and they committed."
